This place was so neat. They repurposed a train depot into a cute restaurant and it was cool to see the trains ride by. They had several really good beers on tap and they had two gluten-free beers if you have issues with gluten. The hummus was very yummy and their potstickers were absolutely delicious Bailey. Our server was hilarious and she didn't mind us picking on her. She made some great suggestions on what to eat. We are definitely gonna have to come back here the next time we're in Tennessee. read more

The food is great! 4-5 stars. The inconsistent service. 3 stars. Menu is good. I love the ranch made in house, and craft burgers & nice salad(s) & offered & beer choices. Hostesses are always nice / great location & we like to patronize. read more

Solid food choices. Had a burger with onion rings. Very very tasty indeed. I was asked and replied to have it medium. It arrived towards well done, no big deal. We tried 8 beers via two four glass flights that were enjoyable. I lean towards darker beer although the Mexican Amber was too gassy for my taste. Easy parking up front, food arrives quickly and its a comfortable spot. Our waitress seemed rushed, might have been a bad day for her. We will be back. read more

We had a very pleasant meal there, the food was delicious, our waitress was very good & definitely earned her tips that day as we were in a party of about 16. Yet, she was fast, attentive, and very pleasant and helpful. Great place to go if you're visiting Dayton. I highly recommend read more

First off please excuse my photo of my sliders, they are SO GOOD I forgot to let my phone eat first. I absolutely love the food and have enjoyed trying various things on the menu. We first came for the service and continued to come because it's consistent and offers a tons of variety. The vibe is perfect for a low key or a high key night. I've enjoyed the jukebox and the pool tables. DO NOT SLEEP on the chicken bites they are so good. My daughter and I shared this time and I was very happy with our decisions. read more

Great food, service, ambience! Fried pickles were the spears (extra points for this!)

Outstanding smoked ribs! Early dinner on a Saturday night. We waited longer than normal for our food and both the baked potatoes were cold but the ribs were great and the service was good. Comfortable atmosphere. Will be back. read more

Great local eatery. Local beers if you're in the mood for that. The fish and chips is fantastic and the fish is HUGE! Beer cheese dip with chips is super flavorful and would be great with fries as well. The staff is super friendly as well! read more

Great beer and food! Don't sleep on Monkeytown!

Driving through town looking for a place to eat and found this little gem. Atmosphere casual brewery vibe. Food was delicious. Wish I had take. pictures. Had home made tomato soup and Reuben sandwich which was very good. Husband had corn fritters and a chicken fried sweet something sandwich on the special meat menu and was very good. Would definitely come again if we were passing through town! Sweet, waitress, and good service! read more

Located in the heart of historic Dayton downtown Monkey Town is an awesome place to grab some food and hang out. They have a pretty good menu with lots of options for everyone and also tons of really good sounding beers on tap. We came here after flying into Chattanooga from Las Vegas and making the drive out to Dayton. Not really knowing the area we turned to Yelp reviews for suggestions the one that came up first with some really good reviews was Monkey Town. We were definitely steered in the right direction. It's a wide open space with kinda an industrial feel. We were told to grab a seat anywhere and promptly got our drink order taken. I got the beer cheese burger with onion rings and my husband got the Elvis burger with fries. The food came out fast and looked really good. The burgers were big, double patties, mine being smothered in the beer cheese sauce and his with bbq and onion rings. The burgers were both good and definitely filling. The onions rings were hot and crisp and the fries were sidewinder style which were unexpected but good. Since we had been traveling since around 4am our time with not much food we didn't try the beers this time but they sounded awesome. There were some that were super tempting. Definitely will try them next time. It's a great place to meet people have food and drinks and just hang out. Next time we are in the area I want to try some more things. read more

My wife and I stopped in here in October when visiting Dayton with some friends and we really enjoyed our meal! We both got wraps and they were well-made with fresh ingredients. The fried potatoes that came with them were also very tasty and complimented it well. We also enjoyed our drinks; my wife got a cocktail and I got a flight of their beer, which was very tasty. Our service was good as well and we really enjoyed coming here! read more

First time here and I expected a bit more based on the current reviews. The place is not well kept, the paper special menus looked like someone ate off of them and the clipboards are gross, the tables are wobbly and sticky. The service was ok, but the apps and food all came out at the same time. The taste of the food was actually pretty good and the only reason to give 3 stars. Lots of potential here and I'd try another location to see if the upkeep is better. read more

Fried pickles & ranch were good. The pretzel itself was good but the beer cheese was not great. The bartender very loudly talked about a gentleman's order & how he would not get more alcohol bc he didn't want another product in the drink and then he rightfully got upset and left she then tried to re-write the narrative. While I understand charging the correct amount for a drink, the bartender was out of control speaking about this. I as a customer not involved felt very uncomfortable and it ruined my experience so I can't imagine how this man felt about it. Let's realize you're supposed to be a professional and not embarrass your customers. She spewed "her" story loudly so many times that my husband and I started to take bets on if she was finally done. Turn of events, she wasn't. This was on 7/18/26 at approximately 4:00PM. read more

Group of 5 for lunch and everyone enjoyed their selections! I had the classic cheeseburger which was cooked perfectly. The potatoes/fries were crispy just how I like them. Waitress was friendly and kept our drinks filled. Great little spot! Forgot to snap a photo until it was almost gone. read more

Amazing service, amazing food, amazing beer. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thanks!

Just found this great place today! It was GREAT! 19 of the 21 brews are their very own. I have the "Flip flop" it was sooo tasty ( gluten free too). HH (hungry hubby) enjoyed his Rye Lager. The food was terrific as well. We started with the fried pickle spears that were hot and crunchy! I had the Club Sandwich on the marble rye (toasted) it also came with onion rings which were so crunchy. The picture you will see the large sandwich. The ham, turkey & yummy bacon were a perfect match with the tomatoes lettuce, and mayo. HH REALLY enjoyed his Fish & Chips (homemade potato chips.) Can't wait to come back to this fun place and play pool too! read more

Fresh food, smiling face and cold beer... what more do I have to say ? We stopped in while out riding on a Saturday to eat but most importantly cool off from the rising heat.... We found our way to the bar since there wasn't many patrons sitting there and let's face it some of the best service comes from a bartender. The young lady was awesome and so was the beer selection. If I wasn't operating a motorcycle I may have indulged myself in trying more. But the local beer they brewed was unique and flavorful. My wife order the croissant chicken salad sandwich and I the club wrap. Much like any new place we try we split our sandwiches so we could experience both the club wrap was superb wouldn't add or subtract anything. The chicken salad was good however a bit dry for my liking. Overall next time we are in Dayton we will stop back by "Monkey Town" and try something else and of coarse a cold local brew. read more

Doing a day trip from where we parked our RV. This day, we were searching out some Breweries and found this one..... in Dayton, TN. Very cool place.... We sat at the bar and Keely introduced herself as our Bartender. Nice gal, attentive and full of conversation. We ordered the Chicken, avocado wrap with corn nuggets. Delicious meal and large enough to share... if you're not super hungry !! read more

When the wrong order is brought to my table, how it's handled afterwards is what determines my overall experience. This was my first time at this restaurant/brewery. Our waitress was asked several questions about the menu and she admitted to being relatively new, so she wasn't familiar with the menu items. My wife initially ordered a chicken croissant. She later saw that catfish was on the menu, and while the waitress was still with us, my wife informed her that she changed her mind and wanted to cancel the chicken croissant and have the catfish plate instead. I ordered a bacon burger with BBQ sauce on the side, plus a side of fries. When the order came, they brought the the previously canceled chicken croissant and the catfish. My burger was no where to be seen. I explained to the waitress that I had ordered a macaroni burger and my wife had ordered house chips instead of fries. The waitress apologized and went back to place the new order. She quickly returned with the house chips for my wife, which I munched on while I waited for my order. When my burger came, it was worth the wait. Though I had asked for BBQ on the side, they put it in the burger, but it was just a small drizzle that it was perfect. At this point, this would have been a 4 star experience, but without me asking, I was offered a small discount as an apology. That pushed it to a 5 star review. To top it off, all staff, from hostess to servers, were extremely friendly. read more

WHAT A SURPRISE from this small town North of Chattanooga. Having a population of 7K I was expecting basic small town bar scene here, but walked away blown away! If you happen to be coming through I recommended this place. Now as a brewery you would expect good beer, but I have to say the food and service was what would keep me coming back. Our server was awesome and she knew her stuff when it came to the food and beer. She took good care of us and even went to find out info from on something I had a question about. For the food we had the Jumbo Pretzel. Loved the presentation and it was cooked perfectly! Crisp outside, chewy in. And the Beer Cheese - a must get. I really loved that stuff. While we didn't finish it all, it heated up nicely later for our bedtime snack. We split the Reuben with house house made corned beef. I love a good Reuben and this one did not disappoint. We opted for the house made chips and they were also surprisingly good! Cooked perfectly to be nice a crisp without being burnt. The house salad was a perfect compliment to all the meat and bread and wasn't made of iceberg lettuce, but mixed salad greens that were crisp and fresh! Overall a tasty lunch indeed. There was plenty of room inside as well and a larger outdoor area that is Dog Friendly! Should you feel like a game of pool or darts - well they got you covered there too! So why not 5 starts then? Well here's the thing - it's a brewery, so I expect some really fantastic brew! This is where I was left a bit disappointed. The beer list is one of the longest I've seen for a local small town brewery! Two pages in fact. I opted for a flight and had the Wayward Saison, Really packs a Pancho, Smortle, I choose you, and Evolutionary theory. Only one of these tickled my tastebuds and I'd order again - the E. Theory! But the other three - felt either uninspired and boring or overreaching. I would not get any of them again. Maybe have one or two rotational plays, but grab some heavy hitters and make them the best you can so someone will say - 'OH man - you should try the *** brew at Monkey Town! I wish they had it in the store!' But besides that - I'd most certainly be back for that Hazy IPA and some food! Well done Monkey Town! read more

The food was good, the service was good, but they didn't have a great selection of dark beers. I usually go to the MTBC in Loudon, but we wanted to give this one a try. The two are very similar in food selection, although I miss the Cubana sandwich that I usually get in Loudon. The beer selection seemed better in Loudon, but it could be just the time of year and the two may have the same beer selection year round. With the pool room in the adjacent room this has more of the feel of a bar that serves good food. Where as the Loudon MTBC, located in the old train station, has more the feel of a classy sports bar. I like them both, they just each have there own unique feel. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and will come back next time we are in Dayton. read more

Incredible food!!! Chicken salad, Reuben, boneless wings (10/10 mango habanero), fries, onion rings, Philly cheese steak, spinach queso, Love going here after pickleballing across the street. Only downside is that they're Pepsi people haha but their sweet tea is fab, so no star deduction! read more

Fish n chips are bomb. Good food and atmosphere. Will definitely bog back. The games and pool table are a nice touch.

We just found Monkey Town Brewing last week and have been there twice. Hubbie loved their Elvis burger. My favorite so far is the chicken grape salad on croissant with pecans, cranberries and cucumber. I'm a salad snob, very picky with them. This does not disappoint. Their ribs are amazing. I ate off 2 bones and still had 3/4 left to take home. Great baked potato with plenty of butter and sour cream. Their big pretzel bites with queso is awesome. A meal in itself. The girls are all so sweet and kind. Right there to make sure you're happy. It's fun reading the framed newspaper articles about the history. Clean and a happy place. Can't wait to go back. read more

My girlfriend and I came in for the first time today and this place was very welcoming. Buffalo wings tasted great. Plus the craft beer was fantastic! read more

The craft beer is excellent here, especially the stouts. The service however is not. Just watched my beer wait for pickup for 5 minutes. They have a full bar which my wife appreciates as she's not a beer drinker. Only average bourbon selection and they could do a lot better and stock a better top shelf. That's why I'm only give them three stars, YES Bourbon Matters!!!! Get the beer cheese on chips or the huge pretzel, you won't be sorry at all. ;) As for the food it's also excellent and I'd recommend the catfish, or any of the tacos they offer both are superb. The sandwiches are good but I'd stay away from the burgers as they use the thin patty's and just stack them, faster to cook but there's no way you get a decent medium burger that way. If your eating in Dayton this place is one of two restaurants we hit almost every week, so I'd encourage you to give it a try. read more

Unbelievable sitting here at 3:30 and literally took 15 minutes to order drinks. We are now at almost 30 minutes and still haven't received them yet. Lady working the front desk has been gone for ten minutes and has twelve people at the door standing outside with the door open. Flys everywhere. First time we tried this place it was tolerable at best. Today seals the deal. Stay outta the place it's filthy, stinks, and has the worst service in Rhea county. Waitresses OBVIOUSLY are more worried about their phones and socializing rather than working. Just got our beers at 29 minutes. Going on close to 45 minutes and just got food. Doubt I'll ever be back read more

This is a nice casual restaurant. They have a good selection of food. I had ribs with the smoked hickory sauce which was really good. My wife had the Rueben and said it was very good also. We each tried a flight of different beers. None of them really stood out for either of us. They had a large selection of beer. I would definitely go back for food, but I'm not sure if I'd try more of their beer. read more
